Harnessing chaos in Cloudflare offices
It has been about four years since we last wrote about LavaRand and during that time the story of how Cloudflare uses physical sources of entropy to add to the security of the Internet has continued to travel and be a source of interest to many. What was initially just a single species of physical entropy source – lava lamps – has grown and diversified.

"Inflation: It is important to understand the issue better to act and start rihht now!" - yours truly on #Bitcoin @ the Hong Kong Stock Exchange - Gender Equality Summit
That would lead to the problem of some people getting better off at the expense of others poorer because inflation simply does not create value. Value comes from health, education, safety, security, access to resources, clean environment, etc. In order to create value we need inovation and inflation is simply slavery that would financially encourage corruption and not progress. Check out Knut Svanholm"s or Jeff Booth's books.
Because inflation it will make you lose purchasing power. 🤷🏽♂️
"Concentrate on winning. Forget about beginning. Forget about the middle and end." - Liam Gallagher on #bitcoin

Awesome but so is this...
Using #bitcoin as main unit of account for energy, water and material resources real time monitoring.
Next steps, smart contracts for energy, water and recycling services with payments in real-time instead of every month.
Bitcoin is the key to unlockvthe circular economy because it decouples economic growth from resource consumption.
#bitcoin doesn't need my help...
... but I wanted to help the defendors of Bitcoin PoW mining in front of the European Securities and Markets Authority kick some shitcoiners' asses in the EU!
